That's very pretty 💞💞💞

@pelly thanks Jane 😀

@gjones thanks Katy 😃 sadly it doesn’t turn blue 😐 not quite sure why it has this name 😅

@gjones after looking online it’s supposed to be a very different colour so I expect it changed as I don’t grow it in acidic soil 🙈

Not a fan of these but well done, it looks healthy.

Loven the colour of the folige

What colour are the blooms @kez001uk ?

@rhododendronmad you don’t like hydrangeas? I have a bit of a weakness for them 😜 there’s 8 in my garden now 😍

@alan1111 it’s usually much darker but think all the sunshine is greening it up 😛 it’s nice against the bright pink flowers 💕

@kez001uk mainly because they don't look nice for most of the time. I like flowering evergreens.

@rhododendronmad true, they’re a twiggy mess for months 😂

I've moved my dark leaved one in to a more shaded spot to try keep the folige as dark as I can

@alan1111 oh that’s how you keep it dark! I’ll be moving mine then 😛

I'm just trying it to see if it works, so far the folige is dark as

@alan1111 can’t hurt to try 😆

Oh wow.....💞

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom it’s a pretty one 💕💞💕

Ooooohhhhweeee!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😀

Welcome!💘😍

@gjones thank you Katy 😁 first time I’ve had a lacecap and I love them. So much going on in one flower head 😛

I have to agree Kerry lacecaps have that little something extra about them

@alan1111 it’s like 2 lots of flowers on one plant 😛

😍😍 I like this one! I generally prefer the lacecup hydrangea as they look like a hand crafted embroidery 😍

A good strong colour on that one, nice

@ublaszko I agree, they have much more interest and not to mention they’re so pretty 😛

@alan1111 thanks Alan 😃 a nice contrast against the darker leaves 💚💗

I love this one Kerry!💘😍

This one is fabulous! #hydrangea #hydrangea-blackdiamonds #hydrangeamacrophylla

Beautiful ❤❤❤

@gjones thank you Katy 😀

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley ☺️

@lovestogarden thanks Janice 😃 even the foliage on this one is pretty 😍

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😃 am pleased with this one 😋

I would be too. It's a cracker 👌

Didn’t think this would flower after the late frosts killed most of the plant 🖤

😍😍

@ublaszko so excited for its first flowers 😁

I bet! 😄

👏👏 hydrangeas are a pretty tough plant, making it through conditions you wouldn't think they could!💘😍

@ShelleySnyder they really do fight back through most conditions. Amazing how fast it happens too 😁

Yes! Exactly!💘😍

@gjones the right photo this time 😉

@gjones the centre looks like the frost got it though 😜 but it should be like this: https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/369964/i-Hydrangea-macrophylla-i-Shining-Angel-blue-flowered-(Black-Diamonds-Series)/Details

That’s early Kerry....

It is early, as Elaine says. Hopefully no lasting frost damage to the flowers 👍

@gjones I hoping it looks as good as the photos 🤞🏻

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom it is, maybe too early since there’ll likely be more cold to come 😫

@jeatacake I hope not too 😬

@jeatacake @kez001uk having said that my climbing hydrangea is nearly out but the bushes aren’t 🤷🏼♀️

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom some of mine have a lot of foliage but others are just showing new growth. Weirdness of the garden 😂

Has its first ever flower bud 🤗

👏👏

@lesliecole49 (just realised I posted the photo without the bud 🙈😂)

Whoohoo 👍👍

@gjones 😂 I promise it exists 🤣

@pelly can’t wait to see it in bloom ☺️

🤣🤣 Kerry, like @gjones said, we believe you anyway

@lesliecole49 🤣 thank you 😛 I did post the bud eventually 🤣

Black diamonds shining angel blue

Had to Google this one because it's new to me. Wow !!!! It's going to be gorgeous !!!! Let alone the foliage is pretty.

@sherrisgarden I do hope it’ll look as nice as the photos 😋 the foliage is so dark and rich, should look amazing with the pink/lavender/blue blooms 😍

I look forward to seeing it !! Besides that....you're a good plant mom. 😀

@sherrisgarden I do try to be but am still learning so there’s quite a few mistakes 😜

Hey don't feel bad Kerry...I've been gardening a "million" years and I am still learning something new all the time. XO

@sherrisgarden a million years 🤣 you’re barely older than me! I guess it’s something you never stop learning about ☺️

I wish I was barely older than you !! Hahaha. ,😎🤣😎🤣 @kez001uk

@sherrisgarden I’m 38! 😜

Kerry, let me say this, I totally understand why women lie about their age !!! 🤣😎😋 And...in your.profile picture definitely don't look 38. @kez001uk

@sherrisgarden Sherri! 🤣😂🤣 you look great! The filter hides the wrinkles and my grey streaks 😜
